They had 2 guides so advanced swimmers could go fast and slow swimmers could go at their own pace. We saw a lot of fish and sea turtles. Even though it rained it did not impact us. Loved it!”

Pre-trip communication was solid. The evening before I got a message with detailed instructions for where to meet. I go to the pier, they found me, and I boarded the boat right away.

However, after the tour I asked a member of the staff (Antonio) to rent a snorkel, and he told me to rest because he had a "special surprise" for me. After my puzzled look, he complimented my body and tried to kiss me. This behavior was unwanted, unprovoked, and unacceptable, and I have not found proper channels to report it.”

Guides such as Mike, Kevin, and Alberto have earned praise for keeping groups safe and pointing out sea life.

“There was good communication with the company about pickup location and timing. They gave us a thorough overview of what to expect during the snorkeling experience. Unfortunately the snorkel tube they provided did not work for me (maybe too big?) and I kept swallowing salt water while using it. I've used other snorkel tubes before and they've been okay, so this was a first for me. They did not have any other options so I just repeatedly held my breath and dunked my head under throughout. There was also another guest who had the same issue and they just went back to the boat early. We did get to see…”

“This private snorkel experience will go down as the highlight of our trip to Puerto Morelos. Alejandro (Alex), picked us up at our hotel and took us to the docks where Juan and his boat awaited. On the way, Alex gave us the history of Puerto Morelos and the Mayan people. We were so grateful for his knowledge of the culture and the history of the region we were vacationing in. The reef at Puerto Morelos is very close to shore, so after just a 5 minute boat ride, we had arrived at the reef. My husband and I have snorkeled at many different places including all over the Caribbean…”
